Miley Cyrus Tattoo Outrage

Miley Cyrus has once again made the headlines in a negative fashion. This time America’s collective ire has been raised over the appearance of a tattoo on the young starlets torso. Miley is of course best known as the star of Disney’s Hannah Montana, where she plays both down to earth Miley and pop sensation Hannah Montana. Miley Cyrus is a role model to thousands if not millions of young girls around the world. On Television she presents a squeaky clean image of an American teenager dealing with a normal teens pressure as well as the pressure of being a superstar. On the show Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana are able to keep their lives separate. Unfortunately for Miley in real life her  private life is inexorably intertwined with her stardom. Every mistake and faux pas of Miley’s is almost instantly internet fodder.

Miley is no stranger to controversy. Risqué photos of the Hannah Montana star were leaked to the internet, leading to outrage that a teenage girl would ever wear a bikini or behave in a the way that a teenager would. Then a vanity fair photo shoot, with a topless shot of Miley Cyrus, that admittedly was as creepy as it was beautiful. Miley also made headlines for dating boy in his twenties while she was only seventeen. More provocative pictures hit the net including and almostnipple slip during a Hannah Montana video shoot. A lot of the blame for the pictures has to go on her handlers but we as Americans have to take some blame too. We have to admit that Miley behaves the way most teens do and accept it as fact. Maybe we should stop worrying about what Miley does and teach our kids not to emulate every famous person on television.
